Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a big bowl, toss together the chicken, celery, almonds, bell pepper, onion, pimento, salt, lemon juice, and mayonnaise until everything is well mixed. Transfer the mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese, then add a layer of crushed potato chips for a nice crunch. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
